Police deny flouting Osinbajo’s directive on Deputy Commissioner
The police yesterday denied ever shunning Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to release its top investigative officers to the Special Presidential Investigation Panel for the Recovery of Public Property
The force said it has released about 33 officers and men to the panel to hasten its work.
It also explained that a Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abduyari Lafia was redeployed to the Police Academy in Kano because he was yet to account for $20,000 exhibit cash in his possession as a former head of Intelligence Bureau in the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCIID).
The Force spokesman, CSP Moshood Jimoh made the clarifications in a chat with The Nation correspondent against the backdrop of allegations that the police defied the directive of the Vice President.
